Audi understands the desire for diesels in the US. They have stated that due to poor diesel fuel quality there will be no diesel anytime soon.

This was according to Marc Trahan who is director of Audi Product Management and Quality. He held a townhall meeting on the B7 a month ago and spoke about the prospects of a diesel A4 in the States.

RE: diesel swap......
Here is an article about the A6 TDi that audi is starting to market in the US. They are planning to integrate Diesel models for all model lines throughout the next few years.

And this one stating their plan to bring the Q7 in first.
"An Audi spokesperson confirmed plans to offer a diesel.
Axel Mees, the former head of Audi of America Inc., first disclosed the strategy before the automaker said two weeks ago that Mees was fired.
The Q7, Audi's first SUV, is based on the Pikes Peak quattro concept shown at the 2003 Detroit auto show. Audi will introduce a gasoline-powered version in 2006, followed by a diesel version.
Audi will add diesel engines slowly to the rest of its lineup, Mees said."

RE: diesel swap......
Hey mainer, any luck finding anyone that's done the swap? I too think it would be cool. I've examined all the VW TDI options, and I've decided ... they're all pretty bleh! (No offense intended to any VW fans). I'd really love a B5 A4 with the Passat 2.0 TDI. Torsen Quattro + 134hp 2.0 TDI + biodiesel = 
If I get some money, I might be willing to be a guinea pig.

surge- VW Audi and Porsche are all affiliated, im not quite sure how though. I bet somebody else can answer this question better than i. Notice that the newer Passat's and A4's look almost identical except for the rear tail lights.

TDI Allroad
I have talk with Justin at Greaseworks. He thinks it is totally doable. He is doing a TDI transplant in my 95 Syncro Eurovan right now. I want to have an Audi Allroad built for my wife. She is kind of stuck on Hybreds but I going to convert her.
